Seattle Storm's Sue Bird has just hit another milestone — her own Barbie doll.

"Barbie celebrates Sue Bird, the basketball legend who pioneered the way for growth in the women’s league with her record-breaking legacy and courageous voice that forever changed the game," Mattel's product description reads. "One of the most decorated players [in] the history of the sport, Bird is known for her fierce drive to win, egoless leadership, and clutch shots. On and off the court, she champions for equality and social justice."

The doll comes with a certificate of authenticity for collectors. The Associated Press reports that Barbie is celebrating its 65th anniversary and the Sue Bird doll is the latest in Barbie's role models series.

The Sue Bird Barbie will cost you $30, if you have a Barbie signature membership, which costs an extra $10.
